IMPORTANT NOTICE

For nearly three-quarters of a century, Rock-
ford, Illinois, has been recognized throughout
the world as the center of mail order Seed, Plant,
and Nursery houses. R. H. Shumway was the
pioneer in this industry and after being estab-
lished some twenty years, the firms of H. W.
Buckbee, Charlotte M. Haines and Great North-
ern Seed Company developed as separate institu-
tions in the production of Seeds, Plants and
Nursery items. For many, many years these
three old reliable houses served millions of
American planters. ‘

Recently the allwise Creator called to their
heavenly reward Charlotte M. Haines, H. W.
Buckbee and the proprietors of the Great North-
ern Seed Company. Unfortunately there were
no sons to carry on these long established com-
panies, so the widows and heirs decided to sell
each of the Institutions, and R. H. Shumway, the
Pioneer American Seedsman, bought their entire
assets and good will.

To all of the Shumway, Buckbee, Haines and
Great Northern customers and friends, we send
you this copy of our big 1941 illustrated Garden
and Farm Catalog and sincerely hope you will

“The Ra

dio

find it helpful in making your selections this year for everything
you need in Seeds, Plants, Bulbs and Nursery items.

When sending in your or-
‘ders feel free to write us for
any special information per-
taining to your Garden and
Farming problems.

Yours most sincerely,
— Will you please hand to your neighbor or friend who
ill gardens the postal card enclosed so they too may re-
ceive a copy of this instructive catalog? Thank you.

And the Aeroplane

This i is the age of specialists. The day of the “J a of all
Trades” is gone. In other words, today you must know your
business thoroughly or thinking people will have no confi-
dence in you.

If you sought the advice or counsel of a doctor or surgeon
you wouldn’t look for one in a department store. The same
is true with a mechanic, carpenter or any highly skilled
artisan.

We don’t ino dies if ane Sone aoe prunes,
medicines, or machifery—_but we do feel that after more
than a half century specializing in growing and breeding
pure bred seeds, plants, bulbs, shrubs and nursery items—
we are better qualified to serve you intelligently on your
garden, lawn, farm and fruit requirements than those who
deal in these commodities as a side line.

OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN

It was an old fashioned garden
Just an old fashioned garden

One summer day I chanced to stray

To a garden of flow’rs blooming wild,

It took me once more to the dear days
of yore

And a spot that I loved as a child;

There were the phlox, tall hollyhocks,

Violets perfuming the air,

Frail eglantines, shy columbines

shack
In the land of long ago.
I saw an old fashioned Missus
Getting old fashioned kisses
In that old fashioned garden
From an old fashioned beau.

By Cole Porter

But it carried me back to that dear little

Specialties for the Garden that Everybody Should Plant

Shumway’s Superior Asparagus

Biggest Money Making Vegetable Crop—Start Your Plantings This Spring

Culture Well-drained soil and a southern exposure produce the earliest and best crops of

Asparagus. For small plantings we recommend the use of roots because they
will give quicker returns. It is best not to cut the one-year-old roots until the second year af-
ter planting; the two-year-old roots will produce a limited crop the following spring after
they have been set out. One oz. of seed will sow 40 ft. of row. 2 lbs., are needed to produce
enough roots to set out one acre. Plant Asparagus in fertile soil and keep the crop cultivated
throughout the season. For home garden, 100 roots will plant a row 100 ft. long, producing
sufficient quantity for family of five.

158 Mary Washington The Most Reliable
Rust-Proof Asparagus

This variety of Asparagus is so superior to all other varieties that it has com-
pletely replaced them, both in the home garden and for market. It originated and
was selected by the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
The plants form large clean shoots which are thick and heavy. They are long and
straight, with closely folded tips. The color is a rich dark green with still deeper
ereen tips. It is a heavy yielder and a long-lived producer of exceptionally fine
quality. It has proved to be practically rust-free. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z., 15 cts.; 4
Ib., 30 cts.; % Ib., 50 cts.; lb., 90 cts., postpaid.

266 Broccoli
Italian Green Sprouting

It forms a rather loose head made up of flower
buds. The plants branch freely and each branch ~
terminates in a head or bud cluster. The center
heads are cut first and as the side shoots develop
they are cut with about 6 inches of stem and
bunched for market. Frequently 6 and 6 cuttings —
are made from one plant. Large heads of bright —
green, tender sprouts, which are cocked like Spin- —
ach or Brussels Sprouts and have a most delectable
flavor, even milder and more palatable than that
of Cauliflower. Sow tle seed in May and harvest
in August. I have a very remarkable strain
of this vegetable which has become a great favor-
ite. Pkt., 10 cts.; % oz. 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.;

larity every year because its dwarf growth and its
great productiveness make it ideally suited to the small
home garden as well as to the large acreage of the
market gardener. Its strong erect growth keeps the
pods off the ground so that they are not injured by
wind or rain, thus avoiding rust and rot. The pods,
which are produced in clusters, contain 4 or 5 large,
fat beans of the finest quality, packed so closely to-

gether that they are very easily shelled. The beans are ],
-always tender, juicy, and sweet, and may be used

green or dried. Either way they are rich and buttery,

The Largest Yielding Variety I Have Ever Seen :

1 Oz. of Seed Will Plant a Row 100 Ft. Long. 7 Lbs. of Seed to Sow One Acre
With the extremely low prices of grain, all farmers should grow at least a liberal acreage
of my wonderful Colossal Giant Mangel. Mangels and Sugar Beets will grow and produce a
crop on any fair Corn land. Root crops for cattle feeding are equal to grain pound for pound
and are produced at half the cost. The value of Mangels for stock feeding is very impor-
tant. They improve their health and condition. For milk cows they increase the flow of
milk and are relished by all animals. My Colossal Giant is the most popular. The roots are
of enormous size, very uniform in shape, smooth and clean. Skin is bright, rich red; flesh
is white, tinted with rose. Easily harvested as roots grow one-half to two-thirds out of the
ground and frequently 2 feet or more in length. The immense yield of 35 to 50 tons per acre,
under favorable conditions, is not unusual. Oz., 15 cts.; 4% lb., 35 cts.; % Ib., 60 cts.; Ib.,

The seed of this mangel is produced in Denmark, where mangels are as
important to the dairy farmers and stock feeders as corn is in this country.
This variety for many times has been awarded the first class certificate by the
Danish government. This is a long yellowish-red cylindrical root that grows
over half above the ground, making it very easy to harvest. Oz., 10 cts.; '/% Ib.,

ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather ~
narrow kernels and are of very fine
quality. The ears are 8-9 inches long
and large around. They looklike well
bred Evergreen yet they mature two
to three weeks earlier. Market gar-
deners find that the size, high yield
(there are often two good ears on
a stalk) and earliness make this a
very profitable kind to grow for mar-

ear is about one inch longer and.
has 10 to 12 rows instead of 8. The.
kernels are sweeter, more tender
and a lghter yellow in color. The
plant is taller and more vigorous.
Because of its earlier maturity,
longer season and superior quality,
it brings better prices than the Ban-

398—65 days. Enormous Yielder either in Greenhouse or Outdoor Plantings. A favorite white:
spined variety, 10 to 12 inches long, about 2 inches thick, tapering slightly to each end. The
color, a glossy dark green, is held for a considerable time after picking.’ The flesh is firm,
translucent and delicious. The seed cavity is small and the fruits are tender and juicy. The.
plants are prolific, vigorous and blight-resistant. A fine slicing type, also valuable for

391 Long fellow “The Largest of All and One of the Best”

72 days. Unquestionably the finest of the large white-spined varieties. It is long, 12 to 15
inches, slender and round-ended. The fruit, dotted with white spines, is a uniform dark green.
Because of its length and weight it takes the form of the soil beneath; so to secure perfectly
straight specimens it is necessary to smooth out the ground under the growing fruit. The flesh
is firm and of good quality with few seeds; excellent for slicing. This variety is equally suit-
able for green-house forcing or field culture. The large, uniform size, handsome appearance and
good quality make it a profitable type for the fancy trade. A good shipper. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0Z.,

This new variety is bred to resist disease “known as Mildew.” If
you have had trouble growing melons on account of the vines be-
coming wilted and finally dying this is the variety you should plant.
The original stock seed used to produce this grand variety was
taken from Hale’s Best, which is one of the best salmon fleshed va-
rieties of excellent quality. Medium early, of good size, and a pro-
lific yielder. Dr. Jaegar’s has not yet attained all the good points of
its parentage for quality although excels on disease infested soil.

Gardeners should _ plant
this Early Money Crop. A
real early annual variety
grown solely for green
bunching Onions. The stalks
are longer, thicker, whiter,

plants should be gradually
earthed up to blanch the
stalks as far as possible.

This is an import item. The
European war prevents any com-
ing across. We recommend our

‘ABRAHAM LINCOLN
TOMATO

This famous Tomato was originated on Buckbee’s
Rockford Seed Farms and named in honor of. Illinois’
greatest son, Abraham Lincoln. This giant Tomato
was first introduced by H. W. Buckbee in 1923 and is
the largest Tomato we have ever grown. We have had
as many as 9 Tomatoes in a single cluster with a total
weight of 7 pounds; the average weight however is
about a pound, but customers have reported produc-
ing single fruits weighing nearly 8 pounds. Color,
beautiful dark red fruits, extra heavy, large, sweet,
solid and meaty, with very few seeds, and for so large
a Tomato it is remarkably smooth and free from
cracks and seams.

Abraham Lincoln Tomato, while unusually large,
ripens all the way through the fruit, making it an
ideal variety for Catsup, Chilli Sauce, Tomato Juice,
and slicing. It is a very shy seeder; therefore the
flesh is firm and meaty.

The plant is a sturdy, healthy grower with distinctive
bronzy green foliage; it ripens the first fruit immed-
iately following the ones of the first sort, and con-
tinues bearing from that time until the plant is killed
by frost: This variety was originated on H. W.
Buckbee’s Seed Farm in Rockford, fllinois, and in the
recent purchase of the “Buckbee” business we secured
the original stock seed, and offer same to you as long
as supply remains unsold, at the following special

able to pump or draw nitrogen from the air and give it to the
plant. They form on the roots in colonies, looking like lumps
called nodules, which are really nitrogen storehouses,

Without these germs, legumes would rob the soil of nourish-

the seed before planting. All Agriculturists recommend inocula-

n Grass Seed for Homes and Golf Courses
Bs, is Preparing Your Lawn Seed Bed

In preparing ground for a new lawn all that is necessary is to see that
it is well spaded, making it as fine and mellow as possible. If it consists
of earth from the excavation for the house, or is hard and lumpy, it
should first receive a good dressing of Commercial Fertilizer, which should
be spaded in and mixed with the soil, making it fine and smooth. Before
sowing the seed, the surface of the soil should be freshly raked, then sow
the seed as evenly as possible and rake it in, following with a roller.

The following quantities of the mixture we offer are the usual amounts
sown for a new lawn: 1 Ib., for 200 sq. ft.; 5 lbs. for 1000 sq. ft.; 10 Ibs.

1525 Bromus Inermis—Brome Grass

Bromus Inermis, (Smooth Brome Grass) is not a new
grass but its value has just recently been rediscovered.
It is a long lived hardy northern grass that withstands
drought better than other grasses. It makes good hay of
about the same quality as Timothy, but it is much more
valuable for pasture either alone or with Alfalfa. r

Alfalfa and Brome Grass. ‘Recent tests at Michigan State
College have shown that a mixture of Brome Grass and
Alfalfa makes ideal summer pasture during the mid-sum-
mer season when it is needed the most. On light sandy
soil in northern Michigan this mixture produced over a ton
of hay per acre from the first cutting and good pasture for
the balance of the season.

For this purpose 10 Ibs. of Alfalfa and 5 lbs. of Brome

August. When sown alone, Brome grass is seeded at the
rate of 20 lbs. per acre. It may be seeded with Oats,
Barley or Wheat. The mixture of Alfalfa and Brome
Grass gives best results when a good top growth is per-
mitted before pasturing. Cattle will eat the Brome Grass
in preference to the Alfalfa, giving the latter a chance to
become well established. Sown in August it will be ready
to pasture much earlier than if sown in the spring.

By experimenting it was found that Alsike and Timothy made a combination
that was excellent and ahead of anything yet discovered for hay and pasture.
They blossom and the seed ripens together and are suited to the same soils.
On low, moist lands, where other grasses would fail, they do especially well.
They do well on any land where common grasses and clover grow.

One great advantage that is realized by a mixture of these grasses is the
fact that they are both perennials and make a better combination than most
any other two.

: CULTURE. If planted with corn,
oe 3 beans in each hill of corn is about
| right and this requires 3 to 5 pounds
~ | of seed beans per acre. If planted in

| drills to cultivate for hay or seed
crop, rows may be 24 to 36 inches
apart using 14 to % bushel of seed
per acre. Rowing and cultivating,
however, is not necessary. Thousands
of farmers now are planting in solid

growth penetrates about 8 inches deep, making it
highly drought resistant, and capable of thriving
on poor, wornout soils where alfalfa and clovers
would fail. In feeding value it is about equal to
alfalfa; has no woody stem; holds its leaves well

Woodburn’s Western Plowman
120 Day Corn and One of the Best

Western Plowman is one of the largest and most
dependable varieties of the large yielding sorts.
It is extremely. popular in the Southern part of
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and in fact
throughout the entire Corn Belt. It is one of
the heaviest yielding and shelling sorts and ex-
remely rich in feeding properties. The ears are
9 inches and over in length. Very uniform type.
18 to 20 rows of deep, golden, oblong kernels.
The kernel has a slight cast of reddish brown,
The stalks are large and leafy. Heavy rooting.
Stands up exceedingly well, making it not only
an excellent variety for producing a bumper crop
of the finest yellow corn in cultivation but like-
wise a splendid variety for silo.

Murdock Yellow Dent
(Wisconsin No. 13)

Murdock Yellow Dent was awarded sweepstakes
for the Northern Zone, comprising the states of
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota at the National Corn Expositions
and this in competition with corn of all varieties.
Mr. H. C. Brueckner of Jefferson County, Wiscon-
sin, was the exhibitor of this corn. He took more
than 85 premiums on it-in 12 years.

Murdock Yellow Dent is of a deep yellow color,
ears 8144 to 9% inches in length, hard and solid,
just slightly rough and very uniform in type. It
makes a large heavy growth of stalk and leaf and
so is a good silage variety. Murdock is similar. to
Golden Glow but it grows a trifle larger both in
stalk and ear and yields a trifle more. :

Boone County White

One of the outstanding large yielding varieties
of White Corn, producing on an average from
70 to 90 bushels per acre under favorable condi-
tions. Ears 9 to 11 inches long with 18 to 22 rows.
Grain very deep, slightly rough. Extremely attrac-
‘tive Corn both on the ear and shelled. Prize win-
ner in many markets. 120 day corn.

Iowa Silver Mine

Identical in characteristics with Iowa Gold —

Mine. Recognized as one of the large yielding,
drought-resisting varieties of White Corn. Especially
suited for Central and Southern Corn Belt. Makes
an ideal silage or fodder Corn.

Reid’s Yellow Dent

Leading standard yellow variety originated many
years ago by Mr. James L. Reid of Illinois who
fixed a type that experts have failed to change
for the better. In my opinion the most popular
sort of yellow corn grown in the United States.
I offer pure type of th:; leading standard variety,
which is among the best all around purpose Yel-
low Dent Corn grown. Description—Color deep
yellow, with lighter cap. Deep kernel, uniformly
filled from butt to tip. Slightly rough, with grains
dented on top. Leaves and stalks of Reid’s Yellow
Dent make the finest ensilage and fodder. Matures
in 110 days. Adapted—Reid’s Yellow Dent is
adapted to central and southern portions of Iowa,
Indiana and Illinois, Eastern Kansas and Oklahoma,
Southeastern Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes-
see, Kentucky and Virginia.

Improved Leaming

The Leaming is the oldest distinct variety of
corn, having been originated in 1826. It is a

standard yellow corn, well adapted to northern |;

and central Illinois and the most of Iowa, and
similar latitudes. In fact, it is grown with suc-
cess in southern Wisconsin and is in great de-
mand in the north for silage. Not quite as large
and not quite as late as Reid’s Yellow Dent.

~ Towa Gold Mine

Universal standard for years. I offer the pure
strain Gold Mine, and recommend it, Description—
With the expert corn farmer Gold Mine is known
as medium early, between the 110 day and the extra
early sorts that mature in eighty-five days. It is,
however, a great producer and sure cropper. Ears
are medium-sized and symmetrical. Color bright
golden yellow. The grain is deep and the cob is
small. For this reason it dries out quickly, produc-
ing sixty-two to sixty-three pounds of shelled corn
to seventy pounds of ears. Stalks make excel-
lent silage or fodder. Adapted—Iowa Gold Mine
will grow in nearly every state in the Union, and
is especially recommended for the Western corn
belt. All throughout the Eastern States, where
the climate does not demand an extra early variety,
it is very popular. Has been tried all over the
South with nothing but the best results.

Shumway ’s Goliath Silo or Ensilage Seed Corn

The World’s Greatest Yielder—-Many Report 50 to 75 Tons Per Acre.

For many years I have worked on this World’s Famous Ensilage Corn, Selecting and Reselecting
Pure Bred Seed and today I feel safe in saying it leads all others in growth of fodder-producing,
stalks 18 to 22 feet high. The leaves are broad and long, they start forming at the lower
end of the stalk and continue to the very top. It has a strong root system thereby not
affected by wind or drought. I produce this seed South of the Ohio River and do not
aN recommend it to ripen as far North as Rockford. It is solely a silo filler and one
Ly SN acre will produce more tons of feed than 5 acres of ordinary corn. If you de-
WS sire hard ripe corn in your silo, plant one row of Goliath and one of native

A Quick, Profitable Crop—

Thrives Everywhere

In the spring when you are
sowing small grains, sow it
at the rate of 4 pounds per
acre with your grain. This
will furnish valuable pasture
after harvest. Plant it by it-
self at the rate of 5 lbs. per
acre and see the immense
yield of forage it will pro-
duce. After the last cultiva-
tion of corn sow 3. lbs. per
acre broadcast. This is un-
doubtedly the most profitable
place to sow rape seed. If
you are hogging the corn
down, the hogs will clean the
rape as well as the corn. If
you husk your corn and pas-
ture the cornstalks, all kinds
of stock eat it readily,
this gives them green food

to light sand. Cold, wet, boggy soils
are not suited to Sudan Grass. -

Sudan Grass is’a sorghum, and an
annual, without underground root
sprouts. It grows 4 to 5 feet high in
drilled seedings, and 5 to 8 feet in
cultivated rows. Do not sow Sudan
Grass before corn planting time.
Like corn, itis a warm weather crop.
In favorable seasons, the growing
period is long, and several cuttings
can be obtained in one season. For
hay it is ready to cut in 60 to 75
days, when it is in full head. It con-
tinues its growth, and in 40 to 45
days it is ready for another cutting.

Sudan Grass is an enormous

yielder, producing 3 or 4 tons of hay
at the first cutting. The second cut-
ting is lighter, and the-hay is much
finer. Live stock of all kinds will eat
the hay readily. 5

. For hay, sow at’the rate of 20 to 30
lbs. per acre, using a grain drill, and
cover from one to one and one-half

1638 New Vanguard __

_ This remarkable high yielding, rust resistant new Oat _
is a cross between Banner and Hajira and was origi-
nated by the Canadian Rust Research Laboratory, Uni-'~
versity of Manitoba. In checking the results of Van-
guard Oats sown in the Central States last year, we
find that it was the highest yielding variety at the _
University of Illinois trial plots at DeKalb, Illinois, In ~
other plantings close to Rockford, it really stood at
the top of the list in quality and yield. Some reports _
show yields from 75 to 160 bushels per acre but it is
our judgment, based on experimental comparisons, that
an average yield of 65 to 70 bushels per acre in this
section of the country is about the top that you could—
expect. Seed supply is limited with very active demand.

producing nearly four times as much straw as Oats.

into the surface rather than covering them with soil.and
place a pane of glass over the box to retain the moisture.
The slow-growing plants with crumpled foliage are the
ones that.usually give the finest flowers. The blooms are
large with gorgeous colorings. This is unquestionably the
finest double-mixed Petunia in the world. Pkt., 35 ets.

In a Class by Itself—Extremely Early

Anoka has a characteristic possessed by no other apple
—the uncanny ability to bear on one-year wood. Baby
trees bear in the nursery row. Transplanted into the
orchard they bear the second year. Anoka was orig-
inated by Prof. N. E. Hansen in South Dakota and it
has made good even up-in North Dakota. Prof. Hansen
says: “The Anoka bears on one-year wood and is an
annual bearer. A one-year old tree sent to Fargo,
North Dakota ten years ago has borne eight crops in
ten years.” Anoka ripens in August, is similar in qual-

orange splashings on back of petals. Blooms borne on long
stout stems. Flowers large and of perfect form. Rich green

son, wonderfully free bloomer, One of the hardiest rosés
grown, of vigorous habit and producing a mass of gorgeous
crimson roses on long stems, Thrives everywhere.

ding and cutting Roses of them all. Its beautifully formed
buds are of a lively pink which becomes brighter and more

3013 American Beauty, A hardy Rose of the largest size,
having the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose
with the delicious odor of the Damask Rose, conse-
quently equally valuable for greenhouse forcing or
summer flowering. In color, it is a deep, brilliant
rosy-carmine, shaded toward the center with rich car-
mine-crimson.
